How I Can Help
Whether you’re managing a new diagnosis, coordinating care for an aging parent, preparing for an important medical appointment, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the healthcare system, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Healthcare Navigation
I help you understand diagnoses, treatment options, referrals, and next steps so you can make informed healthcare decisions with confidence.
Appointment Support
I help you prepare for appointments, identify important questions, attend visits with you, and make sure your concerns are clearly communicated and heard.
Medical Record Review
I organize and review your medical records, identify important information, and help you better understand your healthcare history, recommendations, and next steps.
Care Coordination
When multiple providers are involved, I help coordinate communication, appointments, treatment plans, and resources so important details don’t fall through the cracks.
Discharge & Transition Support
I help parents and families prepare for hospital discharge by reviewing instructions, medications, follow-up care, equipment needs, and the transition home or to another care setting.
Personalized Advocacy
Every healthcare journey is different. I provide private, one-on-one advocacy built around your concerns, priorities, family needs, and healthcare goals.

About Danita Taylor, BSN, RN
After more than 25 years in healthcare, I know how overwhelming it can feel to be a patient - or the family member trying to make sure someone you love receives the care they need.
I’ve seen patients leave appointments with unanswered questions. I’ve watched families struggle to understand medical terminology, coordinate multiple providers, and make difficult decisions while already carrying the emotional weight of illness.
That’s why I created Avelis Patient Advocacy.
As a Registered Nurse and independent patient advocate, I bring decades of healthcare experience to your side of the conversation. My role is to help you understand what’s happening, prepare the right questions, organize important information, communicate your concerns, and confidently participate in decisions about your care.
“I believe every patient deserves to feel heard, informed, respected, and supported.”
I’m not here to replace your physician or healthcare team.
I’m here to help you navigate that team and the healthcare system with greater clarity and confidence.
Your Voice. Your Care. Your Advocate.
25+ Years of Healthcare Experience
Decades of firsthand experience navigating patient care.
BSN, Registered Nurse
Clinical knowledge translated into understandable guidance.
Independent Patient Advocate
Focused on your needs, questions, concerns, and goals.
